Bad Deal for America

Bad Deal for America examines high-stakes U.S. politics through the lens of corruption, incentives, and the damage that follows when major public decisions reward insiders instead of the country.

The book is written for a broad audience of readers who care about congressional elections, taxpayer rights, and voter issues. Rather than treating politics like spectacle, Dr. David D. Schein frames it as an accountability problem with real consequences for citizens, institutions, and national direction.

Using a memorable deck-of-cards structure, the book profiles political figures from both parties and argues that Washington too often rewards permanence, privilege, and self-protection. The larger case is clear: public service should remain connected to constituents, and serious reform starts with demanding better incentives and better representation.
